Weekly Market Update – Real Estate Activity from July 28th, 2014 to August 3rd, 2014

Traditionally, this is the slow season in the Florida Keys. But after speaking with fellow Realtors and even land surveyors, most are reporting that business is booming.

This last week was no exception.  18 new listings were put up for sale (with one of them already under contract), 18 listings went under contract and 21 sales were closed. Not bad numbers for “off season”!

Plantation By The Sea

One of the new listings to appear is a condo at popular Plantation By The Sea. This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath condo has been renovated with top of the line touches such as granite counter-tops, solid wood cabinetry, impact windows and new appliances.  It is offered for sale at $230,000.

Moon Bay

Pending listings include my listing at Moon Bay in Key Largo, unit A203. This  complex allows weekly rentals, making it a sound investment for the buyer who is looking for rental income.  This unit has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths and includes a deeded boat slip. It was listed at $255,000 at time of contract. For more information about Moon Bay, visit www.MoonBayKeyLargo.com.

Ocean Pointe #4312

Closed sales include another of my listings, #4312 at Ocean Pointe.  This condo was beautifully renovated and professionally decorated.  Ocean Pointe has one of the most flexible rental programs in the Keys, allowing for rentals of just one day or more. The on-site rental program makes renting the unit a breeze.  For more information about Ocean Pointe, visit www.OceanPointeCondo.com.

Remodeling – Before and After

When looking at property it’s easy to dismiss a property you saw because it didn’t have a “wow” factor.  However, sometimes all it takes is a little updating with new furniture and a few well chosen accents to make a huge difference.

This beautiful condo in Ocean Pointe just sold. When it last sold, the new owner wanted to do some remodeling. The unit was in wonderful condition when she purchased, but just a few renovations made it truly beautiful. Here is a view of the living room and kitchen taken before and after. The appliances, cabinets and flooring were all left the same. The new owner added new light fixtures in the kitchen, replaced the granite counter-top with a larger piece, removed the popcorn ceiling and mirror panels on the wall.  Then, she added crown molding, new furniture and decorations, new ceiling fan and new paint. The difference is amazing.

Remember to think about the potential some changes can make when looking at possible properties to buy.
